The remains of Hannah Timings, a British tourist, and her New Zealand pilot
have been recovered from the wreckage of a helicopter that crashed in
mountains in a New Zealand nsationbal park almost nine years ago.

Ms Timings, 28, from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, and Campbell Montgomerie,
27, disappeared after setting off on a sightseeing flight from Queenstown to
Milford Sound in January 2004.

The wreckage of the Hughes 500 helicopter was spotted in mountainous terrain
on Wednesday by the occupants of another helicopter flying over the remote
Fiordland National Park in the South Island.
